Master
the Tiles framework This tutorial explains
and teaches using the Tiles framework so you can develop and
create reusable presentation components. By using Tiles, you are able
to, for example, compartmentalize your presentation tier to better
reuse layouts, HTML, and other visual components. This tutorial starts
with the fundamentals of using the Tiles framework, then
continues until near the end you will be using advanced Tile features
for creating reusable components. (44 pages, pdf format)

Enhance
J2EE component reuse with XDoclets This
tutorial explains to J2EE developers how to use XDoclet to
increase developing productivity. XDoclet makes it easier to
integrate components using attribute-oriented programming. It allows
developers to greatly decrease development time by generating
deployment descriptors and support code, so they can then spend more
time coding the application logic code. (49 pages, pdf format)
Use
XDoclet to generate Web service support files XDoclet
simplifies automated deployment descriptor generation.
XDoclet, a code generation utility, permits you to add
metadata to language features like classes, methods, and fields using
what appears to be JavaDoc tags. Then it uses this additional metadata
to create related files like deployment descriptor and source code.
This concept has been named attribute-oriented programming (not to be
confused with aspect-oriented programming, the other AOP). (42 pages,
